Based on corrected nighttime light data and firm-level data from 1998 to 2010, we use an urban sprawl index that properly captures the subtle differences in density distribution within cities, extend a hyperbolic distance specification within a parametric stochastic framework to the analysis of...

This study examines the environmental implications of urban sprawl on biodiversity conservation in Wa Municipality, Ghana, with particular emphasis on the reduction of vegetation cover due to the expansion of built-up areas. Using a combination of remote sensing, Geographic Information System...

Urban sprawl poses significant challenges to urban sustainability, spatial efficiency, and social equity, particularly in mid-sized cities within resource-constrained settings. This study addresses critical gaps in understanding the interplay between urban sprawl and densification processes in...

Deutschland erlebt derzeit eine erneut anziehende Suburbanisierung und eine damit verbundene verstärkte Siedlungs-tätigkeit im näheren und weiteren Umfeld der Großstädte.Wie sich diese - nachfolgend als "fünfte Suburbanisierung"in der Geschichte dieses Landes bezeichnete - Entwicklungim...

The question of whether 21st-century urbanization dynamics are leading to a suburbanization of poverty in Western city regions has been on the agenda of spatial researchers and housing policymakers for over a decade now. Persistent reurbanization trends are putting increased pressure on...

Urban water security is a multi-faceted water, socioeconomic, and governance challenge. The complexity of translating the holistic approach into policies is an important need for improving water resource management to achieve prosperity, equity, sustainability, and good governance. The city of...

This article emphasizes the radically original character of the Urban Metric System: use of vector fields, a single parameter, several types of urban areas, a single input (the distribution of populations and jobs), no political boundaries taken into account and no density as input, abandonment...

Urban sprawl has a wide-ranging impact on the urban-rural fringe of the post-socialist cities, which are the most dynamically changing areas of the countryside in the Central and Eastern European countries. Intensive construction activity and population growth can be seen in the outskirts. Due...

Der Beitrag fasst die wesentlichen Erkenntnisse der kumulativen Dissertation “On the Effects of Homeownership Subsidies on the Spatial Distribution of Population, Housing, and Housing Prices within German Cities and Regions” zusammen, die sich in drei Kapiteln mit den räumlichen...

Der Beitrag gibt in Abhängigkeit der siedlungsstrukturellen Kreistypen einen Überblick über die räumliche Entwicklung der Wohnungsmärkte in Baden-Württemberg von 2012 bis 2019. Die Daten stammen aus den Regionaldatenbanken des Statistischen Bundesamtes und des Statistischen Landesamtes...

Combining multiple waves of survey data on house satisfaction with a geolocalized data set of three million suburban houses, this paper provides direct quasi-experimental evidence of positional externalities in the field. Homeowners exposed to the construction of very large houses in their...

Housing affordability is often concerning in superstar cities. Like the Taipei metropolis, housing is too expensive in the fully built-up central city, but jobs are there. How can the government incentivize developers to create new housing in areas where households need not be stretch commuters?...

Studies have found that air pollution increases with land misallocation, that is, industrial land is offered at low prices and in large quantities, while commercial/residential land at high price and in a restricted manner. We posit that urban sprawl is an important intermediate mechanism by...

Pathum Thani Province is one of the provinces surrounding the Bangkok Metropolitan Area (BMA) that has received the spillover growth and expansion of the city of Bangkok. However, this has resulted in urban changes into sprawling characterized by clusters of peri-urbanization interspersed along...

This article studies the short- and long-run economic consequences of the now-extinct Shanghai tramway system. Geo-locating the tramway lines on both historical cadastral maps and current Google maps, I sort land parcels in the 1900s–1910s, and residential complexes in 2018, into treatment and...

This paper explores the impact of urban sprawl on carbon intensity for 263 Chinese cities from 2001 to 2017. Using annual maps of artificial impervious area data and Landscan population data, we measure urban sprawl and find strong evidence that urban sprawl exacerbates carbon intensity. This...

Urban blight has been found to cause a variety of problems, including negatively impacting the value of surrounding properties and increasing neighborhood crime rates. If the same externalities that give rise to urban sprawl also contribute to urban blight as is suggested by Brueckner and...

This article examines whether Hispanics achieve spatial equity with Whites through homeownership by comparing the neighborhoods of recent Hispanic and White homebuyers using the 2018 Home Mortgage Disclosure Act data coupled with neighborhood information from the Decennial Census and 2014–2018...

China’s demographic changes have important global economic and geopolitical implications. Yet, our understanding of such transitions at the micro-spatial scale remains limited due to spatial inconsistency of the census data caused by administrative boundary adjustments. To fill this gap, we...

In den letzten beiden Dekaden zeigten die deutschen Großstädte ein beeindruckendes Comeback als Orte des Wohnens wie auch des Arbeitens. Am Beispiel der 33 einwohner- und beschäftigungsstärksten Großstädte Deutschlands und ihrem funktionalen Umland wird aufgezeigt, welche Großstädte...

We use detailed data from Indonesian cities to study how variation in density within urban areas affects social capital. For identification, we instrument density with soil characteristics, and control for community averages of observed characteristics. Under plausible assumptions, these...

Urban sprawl is basically the spatial, uncontrolled, and undesirable expansion and growth of cities, especially in the periphery part of a city. The introductory aspect of the paper examined the genealogy of urban sprawl in the United States. The paper also examined the socioeconomic, political,...

Despite the wealth of micro-macro data on short-term demographic dynamics, the impact of metropolitan growth and economic downturns on local fertility is still under-investigated in advanced economies. Recent studies in low-fertility contexts have assumed suburban birth rates as being...
